Am ersten Abend der Berlin Science Week 2022 fand in der multisensorischen Installation "Haptic Hortus" von IASS Fellow und Anthropologin Susanne Schmitt ein Workshop mit Musikproduzent, Klangkünstler und Komponist Felix Classen statt. Das Berühren von Pflanzen wurde durch Hydrophone oder Lautsprecher akustisch hörbar. Klänge aus dem Botanischen Garten - besonders aus dem Victoriahaus - dienten als Klangteppich.
